Figure 4. Over-expression of ESCCAL_1 promotes survival and suppresses apoptosis.

(A, C) Protein levels of p-p38α, total p38α (t-p38α), p53, Bcl-2, BAX and Caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. (B, D) Quantitative protein levels of p-p38α, p53, Bcl-2, BAX and Caspase-3 were normalized with t-p38α or β-actin. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 5 per group. *p < 0.05.
